Research shows that approximately 50% of Senior International Officers (SIOs) have held their positions for five years or less. While the number of SIO roles in the U.S. has remained relatively stable, this statistic suggests significant turnover among leadership in international education. New SIOs are being hired and others are leaving their positions although little is known about the motivations for such decisions.
In this episode of Gateway Spotlight, we explore the career trajectories available to SIOs and other international education leaders. How does experience in international education leadership prepare professionals for roles beyond the field? What adjacent career pathways are available, and how can international educators position themselves for future transitions?
To explore these questions, the conversation will feature two former SIOs who now hold senior leadership roles in higher education, along with a certified leadership coach specializing in higher education.
